1. Not many hands on villain but he s running 22/16 so far and not really any postflop history. Such a weird spot for villain to be making a bluff and I think thats all we beat. Thoughts?

2. Only have like 30 hands on villain but he s 3 bet me 2x so far. Both have been small. First time he made it 6bb in SB vs my min open. I called with TJs and flop came 994ss. He checked and I made a small stab cause I have very little equity and I want to see what his plan is in this spot. Perhaps not surprisingly he c/r me. So OTF here I check it back as this is a much more c bettable board and he s still checking. I also have a fair amount of possible equity to lose to a c/r. River again is bizarre but I think this is a call as he can be doing some goofball block bet with a A and a boat has gotta be somewhat rare for him. Thoughts?

lol H1 looks like 65 xD but dunno bout his range though in 30 seconds i might call and then flame ^^

H2 i call. dont see alot of value in raising. btw Prefop is too lose imo. if he is 3 betting that size with a wide range tighten up your openingrange (dont get me wrong 74s is still in there) and call with the right frequency.

Hand 1 call and take a note. You're getting a great price and I'd want to know what kinds of hands he's doing this with. Hand 2 i think a small raise to 60 or so and then folding to a jam is pretty good here vs an assumed weaker player.

I agree with James on both hands. No matter what he shows up with I think his line is terrible and we will want to use the info to exploit him next time he does this and when he doesn't lead.
Hand 2 I don't see any reason to check behind on the flop when he checks to you. If he is checking air you are giving him free cards and you are giving yourself a harder time barreling him off his TT 88 type hands.

I do not like calling hand one. Curiosity is overvalued in poker. Most players do not have the foresight to develop a balanced bluff approach on boards like this, and I think the general population tends to be stationy. I expect few bluffs.

Hand two is a lot closer, but because he can have a lot of Tx I'd probably fold it too. I don't see why he'd try to block with Ax when he could just bluff catch with them instead.

Probably calling both. He's giving you a great price and is clearly doing some funky stuff. Ideally you call the first one and see what type of hand he's doing it with and use that to make a better decision on the second one. It's the perfect example of why you err on the side of calling early on to gather information.
